Fred is done, I’m positive of that. Siakam has value to most teams contending. He’s just not suited as #1. Put him as your number 3 and every team would take him. Teams using him as their go to primary scorer are simply misusing him. I hope the Raps can get some trade capital from him. In any case I don’t think anyone on the team is a franchise player at this point. Scotty may be but after this season there are major questions.
Regarding Nurse, I thibj he showed he was a good coach especially for young players. This year the team just east good, even on paper, and you can work your magic so long before you become less effective. I’m sure there were personal rifts though as you look between the lines and it really looks like a madhouse where multiple layers looked upset at one another. He didn’t handle that presser well and lied saying the media brought it up. That was unfortunate because it really made him seem phoney.
There was an interesting radio interview the other day with that Florida coach who raved about Barnes before he was drafted and is also a friend of Masai, so said a few name possibilities of who could be hired and who’s respected and who’s cutting edge on the coaching front. Aside from Haslem, I wasn’t familiar with the other names but there seem to be a few name highly sought after who aren’t household names.
